Show me the money

Well, it has finally and inevitably happened.  I have depleted my checking account 2 months into my New York city move.  Me being the way I am, one who feels unmotivated to do anything unless there is a crisis situation, I have finally reached that crisis financial situation.  It should be said that this has never happened in my entire life before and I do have money invested but I don't want to liquidate my assets just to survive.  I'm actually in trouble of having a check bounce and not just any check; I wrote a $100 check for a friend's wedding reception which I attended on Saturday night.  I would forever be deemed a deadbeat if that check is allowed to bounce.  Tomorrow I will make moves on securing some type of full-time employment.  NYC is a huge financial drain not fathomable to a person charting out expenses on an excel spreadsheet before making the move into the city. 

Now, there is the serious question of what type of employment to delve into as I have worked in 2 differing industries since I formally joined the workforce several years ago.  Needless to say, both industries led me to no consolation of having found a suitable career path for myself.  I have been thinking about bar tending for a while so as to postpone the inevitable act of deciding on a career commitment.  It would buy me some more time while I finished up my degree.  You have to take a course to become a bartender which doesn't quite sit right with me.  I feel like I would really be admitting defeat in the sense that I would be formally committing myself to this transient profession by signing up for and taking a class.  I'll debate doing this further while I sip my morning coffee tomorrow which always brings me a surge of motivation and hopefulness.
